Do you know the history of social media? Think we'll remember Facebook in 20 years? This detailed timeline is a must-see.

Social media began decades before the Facebook era. It started, more or less, with CompuServe and Arpanet back in 1969. A couple years later, the first-ever email was sent.

It has evolved over the past few decades into a powerful tool, as seen in this social media history timeline. With so much that’s happened over the past few decades, we can only guess what’s coming next for social media.

Complex Learning is a pedagogical approach based on personalization, hybridization of learning environments, tools and codes, and participatory learning. In this approach students are supported to become active users and co-producers of learning sources, within the paradigms of complexity, transactional theory and ubiquitous learning. Complex Learning is able to face the challenge of rethinking teaching and learning, empowering and renewing adult learners and trainers competences, attitudes, expectations and effort.
Here I gather the papers and presentations about the vision of Complex Learning I have developed with my collegues in the later years, and other scientific studies and works by researchers and specialists.
